Shan Feng led a group of people toward the top-level spiritual vein occupied by Lin Qian and his group, and soon encountered a team of spirit birds patrolling the area.
Upon seeing the familiar figure, Jin Diao, who was leading the team, immediately flew down.
"Lili!" Little Mountain Wind, you're back!
Jin Diao Qun and Shan Feng were very familiar with each other. Not to mention during the previous test, Jin Diao took turns watching over Shan Feng, and later Shan Feng got along very well with them.
The boy rushed over to Jin Diao and hugged him tightly, rubbing against him for a while. Having spent a lot of time with the spirit beasts, Shan Feng naturally understood how animals expressed affection, and he also liked this kind of closeness. The spirit beasts' fur was soft and comfortable, and hugging or rubbing against them was very relaxing and comforting.
A gentle look appeared in Jin Diao's eyes as it brushed against the mountain breeze. Half a year had passed, and it sensed the changes in the boy. The human cubs they had brought back had grown up completely...
Although Shanfeng is not yet an adult, the changes in his aura and eyes already show that he is a mature person.
After getting intimate with Jin Diao, Shan Feng pointed to the group not far away and said, "These are the spirit beasts I brought back. These humans aren't going up the mountain, so please help look after them for now."
Shanfeng originally planned to stop along the way and leave these people behind once he reached Daxia, but considering that he hadn't reached the capital and was still unclear about the power of the Daxia humans, he changed his mind.
At the Bei'e base, he knew that the powerful beings who repaired the top-level spiritual veins left behind a lot of resources for humanity, and he also knew that humanity had a lot of inheritance and knowledge about cultivation. He already knew the basic knowledge at the Bei'e base, but he did not obtain the deeper knowledge.
Since he made it clear from the beginning that he wouldn't stay long and would eventually return to Daxia, he wasn't a formal employee, so the Bei'e Base naturally wouldn't allocate resources to him.
He obtained the cultivation inheritance and knowledge by exchanging mission points or crystal cores, while the official personnel of the Bei'e Base obtained this basic knowledge for free.
After delivering the dozen or so spirit beasts and meeting Lin Qian and the others, he decided to continue leading the human group to the capital.
Tiger Dad and the others have all gone out, so today it just so happens that Lin Qian and Stepmother are guarding the territory.
Lin Qian and her stepmother were both surprised to see Shan Feng return, especially Lin Qian, who had actually considered the possibility that Shan Feng might not come back, since Shan Feng was human and different from them.
Before, Shanfeng was just an ordinary person who didn't have any thoughts because of survival. But after becoming a superhuman, he naturally had other thoughts when he encountered other humans.
It wasn't that Lin Qian didn't trust Shan Feng, but rather that if he were in Shan Feng's shoes, Shan Feng would most likely have chosen humans as well.
But Lin Qian didn't know that Shan Feng had indeed come into contact with many people after leaving, but the experiences of many of them shattered the boy's values and heart several times.
If he hadn't become a superhuman, Shanfeng would have even developed a fear of some people. That fear had nothing to do with strength; it came from a deep-seated loathing and panic.
If Yamafuku had been an adult before the earthquake, experienced social life, or hadn't gone astray during the disaster but had stayed with humans, he would never have developed these emotions, nor would he have felt alienated from the people of today, nor would he have found them terrifying.
But the truth is that he was different from those people. Although he experienced the initial hardships, he did not experience the darkest stage of human life. This difference was enough to make Shanfeng's mindset different from most people.
Lin Qian didn't pay much attention to Shan Feng's level and strength, but instead inquired carefully about Shan Feng's experiences after descending the mountain. He could sense the changes in Shan Feng. Although the boy's coming of age was inevitable, Lin Qian still couldn't help but sigh.
Even in a normal society, human growth requires a price, let alone in today's environment.
Shan Feng had no suspicion of Lin Qian and the others, and even trusted them completely. Therefore, Shan Feng, holding the chipmunk, told them about his experience of going down the mountain without any concealment.
Rice Ball listened attentively from the side, and unusually, Meow Meow didn't interrupt.
After Shanfeng finished recounting his experiences, he felt much lighter. In fact, he had been suppressing his emotions but had no one to confide in, which was why he felt so depressed.
Speaking it out now has been very helpful for Shanfeng's state of mind. If he had kept it bottled up, it would definitely have affected his future advancement.

When Shan Feng said he wanted to go to the Great Xia base, Lin Qian did not stop him and agreed after thinking about it for a moment.
The mountain wind has already brought back information from Bei'e, and naturally, information from Da Xia cannot be left out. The two top-tier spiritual veins closest to them are not far away. Lin Qian can guess that the Da Xia government must have already established a base in the southwest, and its development cannot be worse than that of Bei'e.
"Oh." You can take the rice ball with you.
Upon hearing Lin Qian's words, Shan Feng hesitated for a moment before wanting to refuse. It wasn't that he was afraid of being monitored by Fan Tuan, but rather that he knew the importance of Fan Tuan and was afraid that he wouldn't be able to protect her.
"We don't know the situation at the official base of the Great Xia yet, so it would be too risky for Fantuan to go there."
Shanfeng felt that he shouldn't bring the rice ball. This cat dumpling was only level 5, which was a bit weak for the current situation. If other bases found out about its special ability, it would probably become a target of contention.
Rice Ball stood up in surprise, but didn't say anything.
Tiger Claw patted the cat's head, and Lin Qian looked at Rice Ball with a sigh in his eyes, "It's okay, Rice Ball's ability can be disguised as telepathic communication, it's not too special."
